Shabbat and Holiday meals

Shabbat meals with Chabad

Since 2014, Chabad in the Piazza Bologna area in Rome hosts large family style Shabbat and holidays meals for local Jews, foreign students learning in Rome and tourists, to enable them to live a true Shabbat and holiday experience.

To signup go to the Event list and select a Shabbat. Nobody will be turned away due to lack of funds.

Donations to Chabad (you could also choose from one of our many projects), preferably before Shabbat, are appreciated so we could notify the families about the gift.

The families put in lots of effort to host visitors, unfortunately in the past people that booked didn’t show up, in order for the families to continue to host people we ask to please notify us as much in advance if you won’t be able to participate.

Kosher restaurants in Rome

Restaurants (not Glatt) in the Ghetto quarter are open on Shabbat by prepaying in advance (the price is 35-40 euro per person per meal), please contact us so we could direct you to the restaurants that are open during your stay.
Meals could also be purchased at the restaurants before Shabbat, closing time is around 3 pm.
